Love’s Labour’s Lost (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

This is the soundtrack for Kenneth Branagh’s 2000 musical film version of Shakespeare’s comedy, set in Western Europe in the 1930s. Branagh filmed the play as if it were an opulent classical Hollywood musical, with him and his actors singing songs by Cole Porter, Gershwin, and Irving Berlin as interludes in the Shakespearean verse. The film was poorly received at the time of its release.
